Chapter 16: All those Years ago.
Trinity turned around and headed downstairs. She knew she would probably regret doing his, but it had to be done. //I don't think I can wait any longer, Yami. all of them deserve to know of their past// She continued down the stairs, and marched outside, Shadi following closely behind.
As she opened the door, she saw everyone standing there awaiting her arrival. Marik and Malik were already downstairs with Ryou. Seto was the first to speak. "What is the meaning of this? I was told this was a poetry session, not an all out war, because I assure you if these two assholes remain here, I will lose my temper completely."
"And your sanity." Bakura snickered which earned him a glare from the CEO.
/Yami, why is Shadi here? / Yugi looked up at his darker half, but received no answer. The pharaoh didn't even here his little hikari speak. Instead the ancient spirit decided to ask the next question. "Tell me, what is going on here? I was not aware that Marik and Malik were to be here. And I am warning those two insane robbers, that this Millennium Puzzle belongs fairly to Yugi and I, and there is no chance in Hell you will get your hands on it."
Marik growled, "You wretched Pharaoh, I am not after you millennium puzzle, or you precious hikari, and don't think for a second I wouldn't duel you again and banish your mind to the shadow realm, however at this precise moment, I am not a liberty to do so." Everyone in the crowd looked at him puzzled. Tea walked towards him, "you're always up to no good, why should we trust you?" This made Marik lose his grip, and soon everyone was in an uproar.
"SILENCE!" Trinity spoke with an air of authority that was all too familiar, to some. Everyone stood there watching the brunette in awe and confusion. "I am sick of everyone fighting and arguing it won't solve anything." Serenity sighed, "She's right you guys, regardless of what Marik and Malik has done in the past, they are obviously here for a reason."
Kaiba stuck his nose in the air, "and what is that reason, to cause even more trouble, Trinity do you not have security for this mansion of yours, use your sense and kick them off your property."
"Yah, they're dangerous, we should have a restraining order put on them, and have 'em locked up for life." Tristan piped in. Joey remained silent.
Upon hearing this Malik couldn't take it anymore. "STOP ridiculing us, we know what we have done, and we would do it all over again. All of you are corrupt, and you call us evil. You think you know right from wrong? You think you are perfect. You have all the answers you ever wanted right in your face. No matter how much we try and help you all, you never appreciated it, you never even knew. We've done more for you then you realize, and you have enough courage to say we are the ones who should be put out. Fuck you. None of you deserve to live." The Millennium eye began to glow on his head, as he raised his rod and prepared to strike whoever was in his way. Marik laughed evilly, and prepared himself as well.
"Marik, Malik, stand down now!" Trinity called. Marik turned and glared slightly. "I have been more than patient; tell me why I must put up with this?"
"Tell me Malik, Marik, is it really worth all that much? They are wrong, is it not enough that for once you have proven to be better?" Hearing this comment everyone began to argue again. Bakura was getting pissed off, "Better? There is no such thing when you are in the presence of the Pharaoh and the rest of these fools. Both Marik and I know.we've been shunned by them from back in Egypt, until we found our princess, and even then the Pharaoh has always had to be better than us, right or wrong. Why do you think I became a tomb robber? To get back, and prove that he wasn't right, that he was nothing but a spoiled rich brat."
Everyone stopped at hearing this, and Marik turned and looked directly in Bakura's eye. "You remember?"
Bakura grinned, "I remember you and I was comrades, stole together, and got caught together. I remember nothing more, 'nor do I wish to." Ryou looked up at his yami, he heard such pain in his words, and it hurt him dearly. Marik smiled slightly at hearing this.
Shadi walked forward. "It seems that there is much disturbance as well as confusion here, everyone here has a past, and it is time that it is to be revealed once again." And with that there was a bright light that surrounded everyone and everything, leaving them blinded by it.

A swift storm of sand and dust flew by leaving little particles of rock and the taste of copper in everyone's mouth. "What? Where are we?" Seto questioned. Yami looked down and was shocked at what he saw. "We.we're in Egypt." They were floating above the sands in Memphis. /Yami this is where you used to rule? /
Trinity looked at Yugi, and then towards the Pharaoh. "I.I don't think so." Kaiba snickered. "And you call yourself a Pharaoh, how can you say you ruled over Egypt if none of this was your land?" Everyone kept silent. Marik then decided to speak up surprising himself he came to Yami's aid. "In those ancient days when Yami ruled, there were two rulers. One for Upper Egypt and another for Lower Egypt."
Yugi looked up inquisitively at Yami who just nodded his head to show that he remembered. "So if Yami ruled over half of Egypt who ruled over the other half?" Serenity asked. Once again everyone remained silent. Joey rubbed his head, finally deciding to break the silence. "I don't get it; we were transported to when Yami used to rule over Egypt and now were being told that he only ruled over half of it? This makes no sense." Kaiba watched as Joey tried to figure everything out, 'he's so cute sometimes.'
Shadi began to explain, "You see when the Pharaoh was ruling he ruled over Upper Egypt, the larger half, which was close to places like Aswan and Thebes, or better known as Luxor."
Yami again nodded his head, "Yes I see, so I ruled over Upper Egypt, then why are we above Lower Egypt's territory? If I do recall correctly we are directly over Memphis."
"Yes my pharaoh that is correct, just look below you and you shall receive your answer." Everyone directed their attention below to 3 chariots that was being drawn by horses. They were being followed by several other men on horses. These men were clad in armor and equipped with swords and shields made of brass and steel.
"Where are they going?" Yugi asked Shadi. "Continue watching young chosen one." Yugi watched on as the carriage arrived at a large palace. The palace was enormous in size and looked and shined as if it were made out of pure marble, which it probably was. A large golden gate opened and allowed the chariots and the soldiers in. The gang continued watching to see who would step out. After what seemed like ages a young man with a spiky crown of crimson, yellow and black emerged wearing nothing but the finest of material found in the lands. And behind him stood a proud man with brown hair, and piercing blue eyes. He to was clad in fine and exquisite clothing, the pharaoh's high-priest.
Out of the other two carriages out tramped 2 foolish looking fellows dressed in semi-fashionable clothing, with goofy grins, and stylish slippers. Along with them a young maiden with a stuck up attitude, and her nose in the air, and her clothing resembling those of a foreign wannabe stepped out.
They all continued to watch, with shocked expression, and widening mouths, as the gang saw themselves being revealed one by one. Kaiba shrieked, "You mean to tell me I was HIS high priest?" He pointed his finger towards the Pharaoh accusingly. Yami looked at him amused, "Yes it's all coming back to me. and I have to admit you were probably one of the only people I trusted." Kaiba snorted and crossed his arms, refusing to believe it.
Joey grinned slightly, 'he's so childish.' "Hey Yami didn't you trust Tristan and me?" Upon hearing this Bakura turned around, "Ha, you two idiots were like his best friends!"
Tristan high fived Joey! "Yes!" Yami smiled then looked towards his Aibou, noticing he had his attention on the bundle in the Pharaoh's arms. He too directed his attention towards it. And what he saw shocked him as well. The king held a small bundle in his arms that he held close and dear, as if it was his own lifeline. And he saw nothing but love and compassion in his eyes for the one he sustained. It was Yugi.
Trinity turned around and headed downstairs. She knew she would probably regret doing his, but it had to be done. //I don't think I can wait any longer, Yami. all of them deserve to know of their past// She continued down the stairs, and marched outside, Shadi following closely behind.
